I am amazed when people are so incredibly generous.There are some amazing people in this world and I know a lot of them go to C3 church. I am humbled by how much some people LOVE blessing others. I believe when people grasp why God blesses them, they want to bless others.
I have the amazing privilege of being the messenger of blessings in my position. This week, someone made a generous donation to a family that is having some financial struggles.
The couple that received the blessing is faithful and still tithe although their income has decreased substantially in the past few months. They agreed that tithing was not an option. They believe that God will bless them if they remain faithful to Him. They were right. God's word tells us that if we trust Him with our finances, He will bless us.
Even if you aren't able to bless others with your finances or material items, you can be generous with your time help people do things.
My point: Ask yourself "why did God bless me with this" and chances are, if you are listening, the answer will sound something like this: "so you can bless others"... believe it or not, it's not just so you can buy more "stuff" to store in your garage.
Go bless someone. Just watch how GREAT it feels.

In the words of Dr. David Shibley, "We are blessed to be a blessing to all the peoples of the world." Some remove loads, some lighten them and still others make people more able to carry the load but the fact remains, we all have a part to play.
The Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea are made of the same water.It flows down,clear and cool, from the heights of Hermon and the roots of the cedars of Lebanon. The Sea of Galilee makes beauty of it, for the Sea of Galilee has an outlet. It gets to give. It gathers in its riches that it may pour them out again to fertilize the Jordan plain. But the Dead Sea with the same water makes horror. For the Dead Sea has no outlet. It gets to keep.(Harry E. Fosdick-"The Meaning of Service")
